Gotta say that is how I always looked at it. Heck I still consider it mtb if you a riding urban on a 26" wheel bike. Basically its technical. Riding in dirt in and of itself can be technical.
One thing I have learned from this thread is I hate the term ATB. This is the first place I have ever seen try to seperate it from mtb. Sorry mtb to me requires a mountain bike, some dirt in any variation and sometimes just some good clean urban rides.
And Math...I call that crazy...butI have known a couple of people to do it.

What if you are not for the "competitive sport" but for the joy of ride:
Please, check out this web site and tell me what you think this it, you going to see bunch of mountain bikes, but hey where are the mountains! We call it ciclotourism; possibly you will call it trail riding
Check it out, you will love the photos:

My idea of MTBing continues to evolve. I"ll ride from the city,then on the hwy, then arrive at my destination,usually a wooded area where I roll out and camp out. I've even done some fishing.
If it ever gets to the point where MTBing is strictly defined,I'll shift into something else. I moved away from road bikes when it became popular and gravitated around $$ bikes. For me MTBing has a looseness and feel about it that I dig.
Regards.
